The West Liberty chapter of Educators Rising attended the 3rd annual state conference at the University of Iowa yesterday. Eleven students were in attendance, along with sponsors Ashley Shimmin and Merideth Schanz, and all learned a lot about how and why they could become educators in the future. Students had opportunities to hear from Apriring Educator panelists, attend College of Education classes, go to breakout sessions, and hear a keynote from the Iowa Teacher of the Year, Melanie Bloom.

Katerin Meza Murillo and Encarnacion Tzip presented a breakout session about their experience volunteering at the elementary school in a kindergarten classroom last trimester. They emphasized the importance of student support and bilingual learning. High School Principal Brenda Arthur Miller helped guide the discussion.

Finally, the chapter was awarded a $250 grant to support our efforts with a teacher appreciation project this year. Students left the conference with a renewed passion for learning about the education field and making West Liberty a place of cooperative learning at all levels!

The 4th graders have been learning about the American Revolution and they were inspired by the actions of the Sons of Liberty in the revolutionary war. They organized their thoughts and plans for how they were going to make their desires heard in a silent protest around the building and ending at the gym to share their speeches, posters and pamphlets!

Congrats to our main event winners this week!!
